Swift 3 solution based on Ramis' answer:

extension String {
    func withReplacedCharacters(_ characters: String, by separator: String) -> String {
        let characterSet = CharacterSet(charactersIn: characters)
        return components(separatedBy: characterSet).joined(separator: separator)
    }
}

Tried to come up with an appropriate function name according to Swift 3 naming convention.
